This is a fantastic security measure that ensures your vehicle is not stolen and only you are capable of starting it. A replacement key with a chip is slightly more expensive than a standard key.

Immobilisers Immobilisers are electronic devices that prevent your car from being hot-wired, or driven away without the proper key. They have been compulsory in the UK on all new vehicles since 1998 and are integrated into the car's keys or fobs. They function by sending a code to the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) when the key is triggered and the car is started. If the code does not match, then the ECU disables certain components that are needed to run the engine and allow the car to go away. This is a way to stop criminals from using special equipment to copy the signal sent by your key and transmit it to the car's ECU and it will start. This has drastically reduced car thefts as it would be extremely difficult to steal vehicles with this technology fitted, and is why insurance companies will generally offer discounts on your premium when it is fitted. The immobiliser is typically hidden within the head of your car key and consists of a microchip that is activated when the key is put into the ignition barrel. A coil inside the barrel reads the chip and then sends an indication to the ECU, which can then only be deactivated by an authorised key or taking the chip off the key. The earliest Renault models used static codes that could be copied using special devices, but more recent versions have been updated to use shifting or rolling security codes that can only be duplicated with the right technology. This has greatly increased the effectiveness of the system and is the reason it is important to only install these kinds of anti-theft devices installed by Thatcham Research approved professionals.

Key Cards The hands-free card has become a popular feature in Renault's vehicles. The small device can be used to unlock the vehicle and start it and allows drivers to control other functions, such as the welcome lighting and the sound sequence. It could even replace an old-fashioned key when the driver isn't in the car. The hands-free cards were first developed in 2001, as Renault prepared to launch the Laguna II saloon. Bernard Dumondel was in a hotel and saw how easy it was to lock a room using magnetic cards. He took the concept and further developed it and eventually made it an integral feature of Renault's models. You'll require a card-reader installed in the vehicle's center console to make use of the hands-free card. The reader and the key card can be programmed using the AVDI or PROTAG programs available from Abrites. Remote Buttons Renault has had a long-standing reputation for innovation. The first time that Renault did this was to produce a 'hands free card', which is a small device that lets you unlock your car and start it without touching the handle. It was the first time a manufacturer of a car could offer such a technology to its customers, and it revolutionised the way that drivers drove. Its design made it easier to get into and out of automobiles. It is one of the most sought-after features of a car today. What exactly is it? The key card is an embedded microprocessor that needs to be programmed to the vehicle. This is accomplished using a special programmer such as the AVDI. The key can also transmit its own identification code, which is used to communicate with the immobiliser system of the car. The chip in the key is able to detect the moment you press the button on the remote and tells the vehicle to respond the same way. This could be anything from opening doors to changing radio stations or setting the thermostat. This is what makes a Renault a highly technologically advanced piece of equipment. Bernard Dumondel led a team of designers who developed the 'hands free card'. He was working on a saloon named the Laguna II that was supposed to be the lifestyle car for the 21st century. He was staying in an hotel and was attempting to use his room keys. He realized he could make an ignition key that could lock and start the vehicle by simply pressing it. The key consists of an outer casing (usually black) buttons that are black, a chip transponder, and a plastic blade. The case can be changed with a key that has the transponder chip of another Renault remote key. This is easy to do and a good option if the key has suffered serious damage, for example buttons that have broken off or have worn away. If you do have a new key and it won't start your car this is probably because the immobiliser hasn't transferred over. To test this, simply hold the old key to the new one and your car should begin.
